SANTA ANA, CA) OCTOBER 19, 2021 Leading Edge Avionics, one of Southern California's most trusted and experienced aviation brands, announced today that it has acquired Advantage Avionics in Chino to create the largest avionics support network in Southern California. In addition to deepening the company's capabilities, the move further expands Leading Edge's service footprint, which now includes 30 additional airports across Southern California.

"By acquiring Advantage, who we considered our top competitor and a company that shares our core values and dedication, we can now offer a level of service and capabilities on a scale never accomplished here in California," said Mike Manclark, Chairman of Leading Edge Avionics. "Their staff are true professionals and they have an exceptional reputation for safety and quality. We're excited to join forces and can't wait to show customers the enhanced service and support the combined companies can now offer."

"At the end of the day, our top priority is to increase the safety of flight to our customers through the incredible advancements in avionics available today. We do that by having a team of professionals that are without a doubt the best in the business," added Manclark. "They know service, they know safety, and they work relentlessly to deliver exceptional value with each and every customer experience. Our expertise combined with rigorous training and development makes us the gold standard in performance. With our new team in Chino, we can build on that success even more."

Existing Advantage Aviation customers can rest assured that the integration will be seamless and will not impact any scheduled installs.
